Flora
Light Women's Challenge has sent £20 being a contribution
of £5 per entrant running for the Group in the Challenge held on
1st September. (We knew of three people running so who is the mystery
fourth person?) We look forward to receiving their sponsorship in due course.
Mrs E. Macfarlane
for a Christmas donation of £30
Eyleen Cotter £20
Julie and
Quentin Edwards and family and friends raised £317.41 in a
sponsored archery competition, involving three local archery clubs:
South Moorlands, Leek and Meir all in Staffordshire.
Kerry O'Keefe's
local, The Abbotsford, in Tranmere took TAG to heart and in an
annual event to commemorate the death of a young man at the age of 36
sent the Group £500 as our share of the money raised for various
charities at a Race Night. Our special thanks to Alex the
owner of the pub and all those who bet and lost so much for such good causes.
Year 10 pupils
(that's the 4th form to the older generation like me) at Talbot Heath School
in Bournemouth raised £211 for the Group selling sweets and
cakes over a week. Perhaps they should follow it up with a sponsored
slim for those w ho bought too many cakes!
Audrey Maynard
for donating her choir fees for singing at weddings in her parish
church over the summer.
Kevin Whittaker,
who many will know form his feature role in the TAG video, recently
marked a special birthday, 40, and instead of presents asked his
friends and family to donate to the Group. Cheques totaling £385
have been received.
Mrs G. Thornton
£10 for D'arcy Linard who played her first netball game at school.
We also use this
column to record gifts in memory of those who have died. Annie and
Micky have received over £3,000 in memory of Eleanor and
this has been shared TAG and Dame Hannah Rogers School where Eleanor
was so happy as a pupil.
Westley
Middle School Bury St Edmunds for £108.86 raised at a Carol
Service. Thanks to the Anderson family for this connection.
Thanks to Mr
and Mrs H Taylor from Shrivenham near Swindon for their continued
support and a further donation of £30 in addition to their
Associate Membership fees. We hold a Gift Aid declaration for the
Taylor's so their gift is increased by the taxman by a further
£8.40 on the donation alone!
Jean and Derek Gleave
(friends of the Robinson family) for their annual Christmas Gift of
£25 again Gift Aided!
Linda Ettey
reports: "I've just received a cheque for £400, from C&S
Print Services Ltd, Weston Super-Mare, a company for which Clive
Harrison is Director - his daughter Rebecca has arthrogryposis, and
the Harrisons are stalwart supporters of TAG S.W."
Boalloy
(the people who make the curtains for lorry trailers) Running Club
in Congleton run for charity and each year split the proceeds between
a couple of good causes put forward by members of the club. In 2003
the Club raised just under £4,000 and our share was £1935. Many
thanks to Lee Campbell for putting the Group forward. Thanks to
all those who contributed.
A big thank you to all of you! |
